Senators elected on the platform of Nigeria’s
opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), have accused President Muhammadu
Buhari of selective anti corruption crusade.

Senate minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio
The senators, in an advertorial said although it
support the moves by the president to eradicate
corruption on Nigeria, “the caucus is not happy with
the current trend that seems to suggest that the war
against corruption is selective and targeted at PDP
stalwarts and states.

The current war lacks transparency, fairness to all and
appears to be aimed at political adversaries. It is on
this ground that we condemn in particular what is
happening in Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Abia state where
election umpires are daily arrested, their families and
associates hounded , and judicial officers involved in
election tribunals intimidated and questioned using
trumped up petitions bordering on corruption. Yet these
officials were part of the 2015 elections that produced
President Buhari an election adjudged to be generally
free and fair by the international community.”


The members of the upper legislative chamber also
spoke on the current crisis rocking the national
headquarters of the party.

“May we use this medium to urge the staff of the PDP
Secretariat to sheath their sword and to stop externalize
internal matters in their working environment. As major
stakeholders, we commend the efforts of the NWC of
our great party the PDP and hereby pass a vote of
confidence in the NWC under the leadership of the of
the Ag National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus. We
also salute the leadership PDP board of trustee (BOT)
Dr Bello Haliru Mohammed and the dedication of our
teaming supporters across Nigeria. We call for a
speedy resolution of the disagreement between the
secretarial workers and the management.”


Meanwhile, Workers of Nigeria’s opposition party,
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has offered an
appology to the party’s National Working Committee
(NWC) following a crisis that hit the party after the
party leadership directed workers of the party to get
a party membership clearance from their respective
state chairmen.
